In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a greedy and nearsighted Giant Koopa named [[Kent C. Koopa]] appears as an optional boss in the game. Notably, he has taught the [[Koopa Bros.]] how to fight, and is known as a 'bully,' who refuses to let Mario pass unless Mario pays 100 [[coin]]s. If Mario disobeys him, Mario and his partners must fight Kent C. Koopa to get him to return to [[Koopa Village]]. | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a greedy and nearsighted Giant Koopa named [[Kent C.

Giant Koopas appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. In this game, they are cross-eyed and have oblong shells which extend up from their backs, behind their heads. They block certain paths in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] and recite the line, "''Derr... No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down. ...I think.''" They cannot be [[stomp]]ed; however, [[Mario]]'s [[Firebrand]] [[Fire Tickle|Bros. Dash]] technique can knock them down, forcing them to move aside. One also appears in a house in [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', they have been redesigned to be larger and resemble ordinary Koopa Troopas. | |||

In the 1986 anime ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', an unusually large Koopa Troopa appears during a walking montage scene. It looks curiously at a passing Mario, Luigi, and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] before jumping on them. However, Mario uses the power of the [[Super Mushroom]] he had recently acquired to push it off of them by growing even larger than it. | In the 1986 anime ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', an unusually large Koopa Troopa appears during a walking montage scene.
